Even better... if you are using extended window manager hints
(X.H.EwmhDesktops), which is likely. It already manage an event hook
that can do that job for you. I just added fullscreenEventHook to
eventHook like this:
...
import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops
...
myEventHook = do
ewmhDesktopsEventHook
fullscreenEventHook
...
, eventHook = myEventHook
...
or,
...
myEventHook = ewmhDesktopsEventHook <+> fullscreenEventHook
...
(both work, I dunno if some of them is better)
Regards!
